We had occasion the other day to do some upgrades for one of our existing customers. We added fresh mulch and new plants to their well established yardscape, and also some large decorative boulders to match some existing rocks. As a bonus, here are photos of existing Biloxi crape myrtles, Nellie Stevens hollies, and Green … Continue reading Bold Boulders
Like pitching and the golf swing, it's the follow through that's critical in landscape work. Our crews can tackle a job and produce amazing things for our customers, but it's all for naught unless we follow through and complete the finishing touches.

Since then our maintenance crews have assiduously kept it trimmed and manicured, and then last year, we revisited it with some landscape upgrades. This past week our … Continue reading Holly Installation
